Tuesday assorted links

1. What kind of deflation is coming to Spain?

2. Johnny L. Matson, editor.

3. I say it is cruel to kick your robotic dog.  (Please note that the associated video is disturbing, though safe for work.)

4. Will we see law firm IPOs?

5. Is it hard to reform disability insurance?  I say wanting to do so is step one.

6. Via Greg Mankiw, a Kuznets heir is selling his Nobel Prize.

7. Six Straussian readings of Fifty Shades of Grey: “Grace’s name is clearly a nod to Alec Trevelyan, James Bond’s antagonist in GoldenEye and the defining cultural representation of post-Cold War Russian treachery in the Anglo-American mind.”
